Navarro College maintains an open door admission policy and students are admitted without regard to race, color, religion, creed, gender, age, national origin, ancestry, disability, marital status, or veterans status. The college reserves the right to verify citizenship and residency status of any applicant.

The Office of Admissions and Records is responsible for administering all admissions policies. Inquiries concerning admis­sions should be addressed to the attention of this office. Completion of the following steps is necessary to gain admission to Navarro College:

Application for Admission

You can apply one of two ways

(a) Online: we encourage students to apply online at ApplyTexas since it speeds up your admission process dramatically (Oh, and it helps us to continue our goal of going green by cutting down on paper).

(b) Paper: The application is downloadable and printable for your convenience.

Note: Proof of Residency In Texas, a student enrolling in an institution of higher education, must have lived in Texas the one year (12 months) proceeding the first date of enrollment to be classified a Texas resident for tuition purpose. If you have attended school or resided out-of-state, additional proof of residency may be required, and the Office of Admissions and Records reserves the right to determine the validity of documents submitted.
